text: Toronto or Remote<p>I'm looking for a a full-stack front end designer. This includes everything from UI/UX storyboarding to graphic design and HTML/CSS execution.<p>Although I started out as a jack of all trades in the web development business, I'm currently finishing up a master's in computer engineering at U of T, and I need someone to take over the front-end work.<p>I have three projects waiting to go, and many more in the pipeline. These aren't your regular mom and pop websites, but high-impact, high-tech web applications, which require next-generation immersive interfaces, for desktop, tablet, and mobile.<p>I hope to be incorporating soon, and if all goes well, I'd be happy to have you on board. If you're interested, send me a message! abrichr at gmail dot com

text: PHP/LAMP Development - Newport Beach, CA, USA (Orange County)<p>The Boras Corporation, widely regarded as the premier single-sport athlete representation firm in the world, is seeking a freelance developer to help expand the capabilities of our internal web-based applications.<p>The ideal candidate will be comfortable and experienced across the entire range of the development process, from designing and polishing the user-facing bits to hacking on the plumbing.<p>We are open to remote workers, but would prefer someone local because a developer who latches on to this work could justify a permanent, full-time position.<p>A large part of the project will be bringing online older tools and datasets originally built in offline tools (Access, FoxPro, etc.) via PHP/MySQL.<p>A love of sports, particularly baseball, is useful, but not strictly required. We take great pride in being the best in the world at what we do, and most of us have played sports at a high level. Regardless, from top to bottom, our personnel believe in doing whatever needs to be done for the team.<p>Obviously we're not your typical HN poster, but if it sounds like a good fit let us know at jobs at borascorp.com.<p>More information about us and our work: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Boras" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Boras</a>
